13 ^t“Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy¹ that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. 14 For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are ^ufew.

15 ^v“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous ^wwolves. 16 You will recognize them by their fruits. ^xAre grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. 18 A healthy tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a diseased tree bear good fruit. 19 ^yEvery tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus you will recognize them by their fruits.

21 ^z“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will ^aenter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who ^bdoes the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ^c‘I never knew you; ^ddepart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
